Question

Daniel filled the gas tank in his car with 14.6 gallons of gas. He then drove 284.7 miles before needing to fill up his tank with gas again. How many miles did the car get to a gallon of gasoline?

Answer 1

Just divide the number of miles by the number of gallons to get the miles per gallon:


`(284.7\ miles)/(14.6\ gallons)=19.5\ miles\ per\ gallon`
